Happy Early Birthday Jami- Here's to you!

Shrimp.shrimp.shrimp.shrimp.chicken.shrimp. Who's the odd ball with the tounge? Oh and thanks Tiff, I went out and bought some Pantene the next day! mmmmmmm!

Snap, Crackle and Pop

Saturday morning Kate was enjoying some Rice Crispies when Jim thought he should introduce her to Snap, Crackle and Pop. He even thought it was a great idea to show her how to listen to her cereal make noise.. thanks honey... this helps a toddler eat her cereal even faster.. and neater.

Home of the Littles!

Today my mom and I went through some of her stuff she has in storage in hopes to find some of my old toys so I could pass them on to Eliana. I had no idea I would find my old house! We were just talking about the Little People House the other day and I really thought my mom had gotten rid of mine. This toy is about 28 years old! Crazy!

To perm or not to perm, to cut or not to cut???

Well girls, I am back having a "hair dilemma." I have recently thought about giving my hair a body perm. Although my gal would roll the rods a certain way to try and give me some luscious locks like these...I hope!









Then the other day I am in the store and I see the newest issue of US magazine and about fall to the floor with how cute Nicole Ritchie's hair cut is.

Please give me feedback of what you think I should do. Or even if you think I need to just leave my hair alone. I NEED HELP!!

Little Prodigy

SO, my son has been really into "taking pictures" DO you think I have some competition???

Rub-a-dub-dub

Thought some bathtime pics (used for blackmail in the future) would be refreshing today!

I am hungry!

Another great website to check out is called Hungry Girl - http://www.hungry-girl.com/

It is this cool website that talks about great food to eat that isn't super high in fat or calories.. Or different food options to try if you love something, but it isn't good for you.

I have tried the Mr. Crispys she talks about. They are awesome! They are chips you buy.. at Whole Foods... and you can eat about 40 of them for only 110 calories I think! Jim and I love them.

Just go check it out. It is fantastic!

a little study

Has anyone ever used Nair or one of those other creams that remove hair on your legs? I am curious to see how well they work and if the hair really stays off?

So I say we all partake in a little survey/study. Everyone go and get a different one and we each try one out and report on it. Then answer some questions so we can all be informed consumers.

1. Name of the product:

2. Price:

3. Was it easy to apply/use?

4. How long did your legs stay smooth?

5. Would you use it again?

I am going to buy some today at the store and try some out.

oh yeah

Another website that I love - www.craigslist.com
A cool place to look for used stuff in any city - Omaha has a huge section.. and you can look by category.
p.s. you could spend a lot of time browsing the used kids stuff. it rocks.

http://omaha.craigslist.org/ this is Omaha's direct page. check it out dudes

How far could Cory carry Erica?

Yes, that is right. In Finland.. for 5 years now they have an annual "wife carrying" contest. Huge men compete to see who can carry their wife the furthest distance. Now why don't we have something like this in the US? And further more.. why don't we start it ourselves?!! I vote for Jay.. he looks pretty burly and Jami weighs all of about 80 pounds if we don't count her big milk boobs.

Please go check this out.. it is hilarious!

Who has a Monkey....

Yeah, so here's a question: Who has a Monkey, and takes it swimming????

Answer: My Cousin......

I need this..

My birthday is coming up.. in Oct. I think I would like this double chaise lounge from Pottery Barn. But it would be a waste to have it in Oct. so if anyone would like to get this for me .. now.. I would be willing to share. there is room for two!

A New love

I don't know if anyone heard last night when Nici made a shocking announcement.. that she plays dominoes.. online.. with strangers.. in chat rooms. I hacked into her computer's history and found this picture.. these are the men she plays with online.. from Cuba. ... shocking.

2 questions..

I had two questions I was wondering about this weekend.. and I am sure you have pondered them as well.
1. Why do we yawn if we see someone else yawn?
2. Why do men usually fall asleep after sex.. or go into a "sex coma" as I like to think of it..

So I went to www.ask.com

1. All of the websites pretty much just babbled about what they think.. but it doesn't seem like there is a real answer. The sites went on about we yawn because we need more oxygen in our blood and there is too much Co2 in the air or something.. but then we yawn and emit more Co2 to the people around us so then they need more oxygen... who knows..

2. Both parties are using a lot of energy during sex.. so it makes both people tired. add to that the endorphins and adrenaline that goes to our brain calms us down I guess.. but a big thing is that women can get aroused right after and men can't.. somehow that affects it as well.

hmm. interesting.. any other questions?

Naps rule!

I love naps so much - they're the best.
I wish you could still carry around your
"mat" like you did in preschool, and curl up under your desk at work and take a little nap! What a better world it would be if we could all take naps!

How Sweet Is This??

We were very busy today with a family reunion for my mom's side of the family that Eliana did not have a nap besides a little cat nap in the car. When we got home around 4:30pm, I was not about to put her down for a nap, but I knew she was going to be a bear by the time it was bed time. I told he she needed to get up on the couch and rest for a little bit. She really didn't put up too much of a fuss... which I was surprised. Of course, Cory offered to join her on the couch and take a rest also. I went on about my business and shortly after the two of them had curled up together this is how I found them...

It was so sweet to see the two of them cuddling like this because it is not too often that Eliana will snuggle any more, she is just way too busy!

As we all know "all good things have to come to an end." Unfortunately, for Cory this ended a little wet...she pee'd!!

Girls Night Out (+kiddos)

So the girls came over last night and we had a fun little time, though it was hot as heck out...here's a few pics...but who's kid is whose??

Summer...

This is one of my favorite pictures right now.. .. Whenever I try to take a picture I think.. what would Colleen do?..
This picture just reminds me of summer and things I love. ahhhh..

Fischer Price Toys

Do you guys remember playing with those little fisher price houses.. it looked like a house.. with a handle on top and the house opened up and revealed a couple rooms complete with furniture and stuff? And when you were done playing with it you just closed up the house and you grabbed the handle and off you went. Jim's mom still has his from when he was little and Kate loves playing with it.. do they still make those? Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Let's test your logo knowledge.. take this quiz and see how you do!
http://www.logoquiz.net/

Ok.. let me explain! Two girls I went to college with saw this blog.. thought it was funny.. and wanted to do one.. only. we never really wrote on it.. so i CLOSED it! HAHA! see.. it is over..it never meant anything!
I love you guys!

On another note.. whoo oo~ Jami posted something and Erica wrote a comment! I think this deserves a celebration!!

I don't think they heard you in aisle four...

Has anyone noticed that talking on your cell phone has reached a new low? So I don't talk on mine in public very often, and if I do, I try to do it discreetly and very quietly. (The only person who usually calls me while I'm out and about is usually Jay asking if Antonia needs Tylenol. "She's never needed Tylenol since she's been born, Jay. How about you try feeding her.") Anyway, twice in the last week when I've been in public, there have been people on their cell phones WITH THEIR SPEAKERPHONE ON FULL BLAST!! LIKE I WANT TO HEAR YOUR MOM GIVE YOU DIRECTIONS TO YOUR UNCLE LARRY'S HOUSE!!! Are you serious?? Just hold the phone up to your ear. It's eight inches away from where you're holding it right now! You have got to be kidding me. Next time I hear it, I swear I'm saying something. The evil eye apparently isn't working. Please tell me this isn't going to be the next level of inappropriateness and annoying-ness. Thank you to all the little people for helping me post again. Namely, Colleen. You complete me.

(Antonia has started a petition as she too, was annoyed. Please sign.)

Once a Cheater, Always a Cheater

So ladies I have some startling/depressing news....we've been cheated on by one of our own. I was looking around and found that our "friend" Jill has been cheating on us all. She has been blogging with another couple of girls for the past YEAR. Now I know I was horrified to find this out and I thought you all should know her lies. You can see in depth accounts of her cheating by going to http://lindzoandthegang.blogspot.com I think we should probably have a meeting and discuss how we're going to handle this scandal......I think we should run her through the guillotine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillotine or we could just chop off her fingers.....talk amongst yourselves.....

Tonight I made a pretty

It is almost the 4th of July.. so I decided to make something yummy and pretty to eat.

So I slaved away in the kitchen.. cutting and baking...
assembling..
When I was done I was very tired...
And needed to have a cool refreshment...
Ahhhh..... atthh (that is the sound you make after you drink something good)
